"We are very excited to be launching Mac OS Lion tomorrow," Apple CFO Peter Oppenheimer told reporters and analysts during a conference call on Tuesday, when discussing his company's most-recent financial results.
If you plan to install "Here, kitty, kitty, kitty" on Wednesday, do remember to first upgrade Snow Leopard to …

Well duh ....

Waiting

and I think I'll be waiting at least a couple of months for the potential conflicts/failures to be known and rectified first. As well, of course, as being able to read any reviews that inform whether it's worth it or not.

Delivery

I, for one, welcome our new digital distribution overlords.

Last time I ordered an operating system on one of those funny little plastic discs it ended up at some delivery depot 15 miles from my house and was a pain the cherries to go and pick up. This sounds a whole lot easier.

Word is...

..that Lion will launch at 8:30am Cupertino time. That's 4:30 in the UK. Interested to know why they don't stagger the launch across the World instead of having EVERYBODY in a massive Denial of Service attack!

iphone shmiphone

I'm so sick of hearing the Apple Ads. Oi, If I dont have an iPhone it's cause I dont WANT an iPhone.

Oh, and yes my phone can be a boarding card or translate a lunch menu. What can't be done on an Android phone that can only be done on iPhone? Nothing that I'm concerned about.

Seems to me that after what, 3-5 years or Apple marketing, the majority of the populace are starting to see through it like glass. Eventually, you'll not want to be seen with iphone because you know everyone else will be thinking 'What a MUG'

Re: iphone shmiphone

Not quite sure what that has to do with a desktop OS. But I suppose I should accuse you of being a hater-girl and try and tell you why you'd be happier with an iphone and then you could counter with something about how the millions of people who buy apple products are deluded sheep and I'll say something about how I'll never come to you for business advice then. We'll go round in circles getting lots of thumbs up and thumbs down and people will c&p our argument so that they can reuse it next time there's an Apple article on The Register to save themselves the typing.

Well...

Been running 10.7 for about 3 weeks, no problems so far. Not saying there won't be, almost gaurantee there will something in there for me but so far it's beeing working better and those who I have spoken to who also have 10.7, say it's far faster than previous versions. Even my 70 year old father hasn't found one problem and likes it better, he's a grumpy old cumudgeon who is never easly pleased!

I completely agree though, never use GA versions of software, especially in production environments but this is home desktop OSX and I couldn't wait!

WTF?

Its on!

I think I'll wait...

I think I'll wait until at least the first combo update is out, just to be on the safe side. Plus by then it might be possible to aquire 10.7 without having to do a 4GB(!) download which at the moment will probably take all day and will cost me an extra £5 when I exceed my monthly bandwidth limit!
